The missing ring is a Hellfire Ring that is currently on an alt for some bonus exp.
I hadn't played D3 for quite a bit and came back to Firebats being extremely appealing to me. I never run solo, I always have a lockdown CM wizard with me, and potentially 1-2 others, so ignore my followers like I have.
Basically, my old build was a 1h/oh, and I stacked a lot of AS. Now, I know AS isn't a prime stat for firebats (not nearly as much as it was for old builds), so I was wondering how I needed to change out my gear, what should be upgraded first.
Also, when y'all say crafted pieces, please be explicit with the names of the items being crafted as they are displayed in the smith. As I said it has been a long time, and I'm not sure if I have patterns, and if not, I could try to get them, or look at potentially buying them off of the AH.
We are currently farming MP6 as it is a comfort zone for us. We die here and there to random bad RNG, but we typically are farming Act 1.
Any and all suggestions/criticism is required. Also, are there any viable theorycrafting sites that are good at knowing what stats are needed based on spec/rune? I remember one from long ago, d3up or something, but unsure how good it is based on items used.
well, locate via farming or AH, buy the archon craft books from the AH, specifically, archon spaulders of intelligence, archon gauntlets of intelligence, amulet of intelligence and razor spikes of intelligence.
the first thing with a WD is you gotta figure a weapon, and from there you can build the rest of your gear, along with your build. if you switched over to a 2 hander, then my build works well if you're a bit more tanky. also, with the crafted gear, if you find yourself lacking in health, you can craft. say. an amulet of vitality.
craft up that gear and see where you stand. those pants, work... but you can probably find a decent pair on the AH with AR/int/sockets/whatever else you need, to add some extra beef. skorn is a good choice, and that being said, you likely ditched a thing of the deep, so skills like sacrifice (unless you're doing 0dogs) and grave injustice tend not to be as helpful on higher MPs. if you're just doing act 1, however, you may be better off doing a mostly acid cloud build, with firebats for elites. which means you'd need a skorn with 1500+ LoH. CC and CD dramatically increase DPS for a WD.
i can't really tell you how best to do your build because i don't know what kinda gameplay you're looking for. if you're looking for pretty much fire bat the hell out of everyhting, that's what i do, and it brings me great pleasure. for efficiency i'd go for acid cloud as my trash clearer
Running the 2 of us we try to round up as much of a zone at once as we can and we just purely AoE it down. I was just wondering if there were any pieces of gear where I had the wrong stat focuses or could really improve on, but after looking at AH prices I guess the brief gold duping problems hyper inflated the economy, and even 50m isn't enough to get much

If you have high attack speed (greater than say 1.65) and like aoe, I could suggest to you a build similar to mine. High attack speed does have some perks with firebats, but you need to adjust up your mana return.
Also, prices mostly go buck wild due to the constant devaluation of gold by third party botters and the changing of rmah gold prices; they did a fairly decent job mopping up that gold dupe. Hopefully trying a build that can incorporate higher attack speed will increase your enjoyment without too much expense!
